The Poor Work Harder Than You Think

http://www.socialworkdegreecenter.com/10-common-misconceptions-poor/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/04/15/we-are-spending-153-billion-a-year-to-subsidize-mcdonalds-and-walmarts-low-wage-workers/ If someone is working 2-3 jobs, 40 hours a week, and still relies on the government to feed his family, then they're not the lazy ones. Their employers are. http://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/15-minimum-wage-petition?inline=file And please for the love of God quit saying progressives don't understand economics.

    If YOU are in your mid 20's and 30's making minimum wage that means YOU failed in life. Just because YOU failed at life doesn't mean those of us who didn't should pay for it. YOU failed at life so YOU are going to have to work two or three times as hard to get where any person who succeeded is. YOU always have a choice. Choose to be poor. Choose to be drunk. Choose to buy either cheap beer or expensive beer. Choose to buy ground chuck or fillet mignon. Choose to shop for shit on sale or choose to by the most expensive fashion items out there. Choose to by a 1980 cutlass w/ 45" rims or a reliable pickup truck for half the price of said rims. The problem with people who CHOOSE to be poor is that they want the most expensive phones, clothes, cars, jewelry, fillet mignon, $5000 wheels on their rides, and Grey Goose. Poor people need to live within their means. A man bringing home $1000 a week can be poor because he's too god damn stupid to budget himself. All that being said, I think you all know I am against raising minimum wage. I don't want to pay $15.00 for a #4 at McDonald's when you brain dead dumb -blam!-s can't even get me the right -blam!-in drink or a #1 with 20lbs of thousand island on it. Prove you are worth $15/hr first, then maybe you can get $8/hr. It's flipping burgers....not too hard. I do it at home once a weekend for free while drinking my beer looking at my brand new truck in the driveway of a house I just purchased. [spoiler]I'm not targeting any of you on here. This is just my .02.[/spoiler] Rant complete. Edit: Forgot to comment on the pic in the OP...LMFBO!!!!!
